About the artist
What Inspires her?
Paul Cezanne "The Basket Of Apples" 1893
"According to my mother, when I was a small child, I would draw all day long. My love for painting even found its way on the house walls. I was blessed with a very loving mother that never punished me for doing so, but instead praised my abilities and talent. 
"Your creativity is not to be held back", she'd say, knowing that one day I would become an artist.
As a young teen, I stumbled upon the famous painting of the Impressionist Paul Cezanne, titled "The Basket Of Apples", and I was mesmerized by his use of thick black lines around the creases of the table cloth. His use of geometric shapes and disjointed perspective brought this piece to life, even if the subject matter was a bit mundane. Looking back now, this piece was a stepping stone in the evolution of my style."

​Marcy Grosso’s life and art reflect a unique bridge between traditional Cuban culture and the vibrant energy of modern Miami. Influenced by the romantic spirit of her Spanish and Cuban heritage and inspired by the dynamic world around her, Grosso brings emotion, color, and spontaneity to every canvas.

Subtly influenced by Impressionist masters Paul Cézanne and Vincent van Gogh, Grosso allows her creativity to flow freely and intuitively. Working exclusively on black canvases, she creates richly expressive paintings filled with fiery reds, earthy browns, and warm ochres, contrasted by vibrant bursts of white, blue, green, and yellow.

Her work has been exhibited at prestigious art events including the Coconut Grove Art Festival, Art Expo Las Vegas, the Beaux Arts Festival, and Carnaval on the Mile in Coral Gables.

Grosso’s honors and commissions include creating the official Town of Miami Lakes poster for BankUnited, the 2004 South Miami Festival poster, and the 2010 Taste of Miami Lakes poster. She was also selected to create the official poster for the National Center for Farmworker Health.

Her artwork is held in private and corporate collections throughout the United States, Europe, and China.

Through her distinctive use of color, emotion, and the unexpected possibilities of the black canvas, Marcy Grosso continues to create artwork that is vibrant, personal, and unmistakably her own.
